IRONING-BQABD Application filed May 13, 1914.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. KRIEHN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Two Rivers, in the county of Manitowoc and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Ironing-Board; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a new and useful ironing board.

The invention aims as one of its objects to provide an improved ironing board having efficient and essential features of construction.

One of the features of the construction re sides in the provision of a supporting leg pivoted in a bifurcation of the ironing board, and one end of which terminates in an enlargement forming a clamping jaw between which and one end of the ironing board the extension part of the table top is clamped.

Another feature of the invention is the provision of a sleeve board hingedly connected to the enlarged end of the support, there being a hinged support carried by the supporting leg for holding the sleeve board in a substantially horizontal position, or upon a slight angular position, there-being a re cess in the supporting leg to receive the hinged support for the sleeve board, when the several parts of the ironing board are collapsed.

In practical fields the details of construction may necessitate alterations, falling within the scope of what is claimed.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings :Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the improved ironing board constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2- is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the parts of the ironing board collapsed.

Referring more especially to the drawings, 1 designates the ironing board proper, while 2 denotes the supporting leg having Specification of Letters Patent.

the enlarged end 3 constituting a jaw, whereas 4 marks the sleeve board, which is hingedly connected at 5 to an angular projection 6 adjacent the enlarged end or jaw 3 of the supporting leg. The ironing board 1 is bifurcated at 7, and is provided with bearing members 8, through which a transversely arranged pin 9 extends, which also passes transversely of the supporting leg, thereby pivotally mounting the supporting leg in said bifurcation. The supporting leg adjacent the angular projection is constructed with a recess 10, which receives the sleeve board supporting arm 11, either when the sleeve board is not employed, or when the parts of the ironing board are collapsed. This supporting arm is hinged at 12 to the supporting leg, and its free end is V-shaped shown at 13 designed to engage any one of the correspondingly shaped notches 14 of the under face of the sleeve board. When the supporting arm is disposed as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the sleeve board is held substantially horizontally, but if the V-shaped end is arranged to engage any one of the other notches or recesses 1 1, then the sleeve board may be held at a slight angle. By inserting block as shown in dotted lines as at 15 in Fig. 2 between the arm 11 and the sleeve board, the board 4 may be held at an angle slightly upwardly from the ironing board 1. The supporting leg 2 may be adjusted, by removing the pin 9 from the apertures as shown in Fig. 2, and inserted through one or another of said apertures 17, as will be clearly understood. iihe extension 18 of the table top is clamped between the jaw 3 and one end of the ironing board 1 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is In combination with a supporting leg cooperating with an ironing board for clamping a table extension, said supporting leg having an angular projection and an adjoining recess at its upper end, a sleeve board hingedly connected to the projection and having its under face provided with a series of notches, a supporting arm hingedly connected to the supporting leg adjacent said recess and including additional sup- In testimony whereof I have signed my porting block to engage any one of the name to this specification in the presence of recesses of the sleeve board to hold the tWo subscribing Witnesses.
